So, I started out with 4g working. I was on stock kernel with fresh rom. Then I did a backup and flashed cm6. Ofcourse cm6 doesn't have 4g, so because of this, i did a full wipe and went back to the backup. Then i flashed 2-3 kernels like kings, and netarchys. Finally i flashed bakedsnack kernel and rom.
So right now I'm on bakedsnack. BUT my 4g doesn't seem to work. When i enable it, it says "scanning" and then "connecting to sprint". After that it loops back to scanning, and then to connecting to sprint again. Over and over.
I know it sounds as if I'm not in the 4g area, but this happens everywhere and anywhere i go. Even if im 50+ miles from my home (where it worked previously.)
Does anyone know how to fix it?
oh and i actually have clear wire at my house, which has the same exact coverage as sprints network, and right now i have 4 bars on my clearwire.
There are several things that can be done to fix this. Try deleting the tree XML file first, forcing your phone to generate a new one:
Using a terminal emulator or through adb on your computer....
su
ls /data/misc/wimax
(You should see a file with your mac address - several numbers followed by tree.xml)
rm /data/misc/wimax/xxxxxxxxxxxx.tree.xml
Then reboot. Your phone will generate a new tree file when it boots back up. Flip on 4g and see if that fixes it.

Have the same issue good luck I havent found a fix other than a replacement phone
I have the correct mac I need I have certs etc etc
just reflashed it to start over. Seems to have teh same problem. Still have the 0016. Re doing it again now.
Same problem still, except now it does:
Scanning, connecting to sprint, turning off, turning on, scanning, etc..
sorry for the bump, but i had a nandroid backup of my old fresh rom with stock kernel. At first i wasn't expecting much when i restored, but i just saw that in the /data/misc/wimax dir, there are 2 xml files. One of which has my own hex (or w/e its called), the other one is 0016. I deleted the 0016, but it keeps re appearing. Is there any way to fix this?
I tried to adb remount it, but for some reason i cant. Is there another way to check to see if my rsa keys are still there?
Thanks
edit: I have now successfully changed my xml to the mac address, but 4g still doesnt work =/
I've had the same issue for a while now. I was on the 2.2 "leak" and it was still working. I used the roll back hack to get back and then went up to rooted 2.2. Since then, I've had nothing.
- My MAC was wrong, but the fastboot fix got that worked out.
- My tree.xml was wrong, but I renamed it and a new one with the right MAC in the name was generated.
- I went all the way back to stock unrooted (2.2 Final RUU) S-OFF and everything and still nothing.
I have mine sitting next to a friends and he's got 3 bars. Mine just keeps scanning, connecting and turning off then turning on (same cycle as the OP) without getting anywhere. I'll be watching this thread to see if there are any suggestions posted that I haven't seen in my searches. I think I've tried 4 ideas from other threads to no avail. If I don't get this worked out I'm going to have to visit the dreaded Sprint store and kill half a day waiting on them to test and most likely replace the damn thing but whatever.
Yea, im taking mine to the sprint store today. Tried everything. I cant even update it to 2.2 using the normal updater thats in the phone. Just fails at signature verification.
The problem is, I bought mine on craigslist, would they still replace it? Or am i ****ed?
So my friend rooted his Evo with Unrevoked. I verified s-off.
He copied a PC36IMG onto his SD which turns out was some 2.1 rooted stock ROM. After doing that his phone could not make/receive calls/text or connect to 1x/3G/4G. Basically an expensive phone that has no phone functions. Everything else works (WiFi included). He flashed http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip onto his phone from http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...vo-install-clockwork-recovery.html#post165998.
When I looked at it, he still did not have a custom recovery so I flashed Amon RA PC36IMG. Full factory wiped data/cache/dvalik. Flashed Synergy RC1. Phone still could not make/receive calls and was getting Error 16 when trying to call. Called Sprint and they reprovisioned phone and fixed calls and texting. Noticed his phone is stuck on 1x and cannot connect to 3G when my phone next to his works fine. Did not test 4G yet since I have poor 4G coverage in my area. Cannot update his profile - just sits there like something is happening but it never completes.
What are his options here? Is it a bad radio or something that we can fix? Can we flash a stock rooted ROM and regain 3G? Remember, no nandroid was made unfortunately.
I would try flashing the latest radios just to be sure. And tell your friend to always make a nandroid backup to avoid this problem in the future.
Well his first time flashing. I think he mistakenly thought the PC36IMG as a custom recovery but it was actually an entire ROM.
Didn't have a chance to nandroid. I'm instructing him how to update newest radio combo and seeing what happens.
Update: Flashed latest combo radio. Updated profile and PRL. Still stuck on 1x even after reboot. Is he hosed? Does Sprint have to do something on their end to fix his EVDO? 4G isn't working either by the way.
Update 2: Wimax Keys Checker - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.wimaxkeys says that RSA Key is present. Relieved that he didn't lose his RSA key. Just can't figure for the life of me why he can't connect to 3G or 4G. Not sure where to go from here? Maybe trying to flashing latest stock rooted RUU? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
Bumping for some attention.
Hey, happened to me a couple of times, it will come back. Maybe wipe everything again, have you tried ##data# and entering msl key, wait... Have you updated his data profile in settings

Ok, was on the road when I had wife reply...lol.. When you rebooted the phone,did you wipe cache,and dalvik. Then try updating profile? It sounds weird,but has worked for me,without even updating profile. I have had no coverage before after flashing a Rom,also,did just that,and it came back. If rsa keys are present,that is good. If you would be kind enough to reply,whether fixed or not,would appreciate it,anyway,gonna move on...

Did he try updating his profile & prl
Sent from my criffvo
Updating profile and PRL doesn't work. It keeps attempting to update but it is never successful.
I haven't had a chance to get his phone to just try reflashing a new ROM or stock ROM to see what will happen though.
He says using ##data# and entering his MSL code and changing EVDO to automatic doesn't work either.

I would start over again ... wipe completely with Calkulin's "fomat all" zip and flash a rooted stock rom like xhausx. Once the phone boots up, call Sprint and have them walk you through provisioning everything. Once all is well, then move into whatever custom stuff he wants.

You took the words from my mouth!
Is he Flashing the RUU's or just running them through the computer? Normally, you sync your phone or through hBoot and then start the program, try flashing stock Froyo and then factory reset once flashed, it helps clear out traces of old roms etc. If you need anymore help feel free to ask, I would be more than happy!
I don't think it worked.
Calkulin's Format, flashed Odexed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379.
It showed 3G but I think it was misleading. Wiped and flashed to evodeck and it went back to showing 1x. My phone has 3G showing on evodeck next to his so he definitely has 3G coverage.
I guess it's just time to call Sprint for a re-provision? Does it have to be on a Sense ROM for them to reprovision?

you dont need Sprint to provision, just get your MSL code and do it your self plus I would do a search for people who may of had similar issues and see what they did. Now if that does not work then why dont you check what your network settings are.. See if its set to CDMA(Auto) I remember my Touch Pro I could of set it to 1x maybe something is getting stuck. I think its in ##3282 you check it and I also remember an app on the market called network that did it for you as well.
If that does not work then flash 3.70 radios and then a 3.70RUU and start from scratch.
He already tried ##data#. He can change his EVDO to automatic but it doesn't stay that way.
Alright I don't know how I fixed it but it's fixed.
Just cannot get 4G now. Wimax keys are present. It keeps scanning and cannot get connect. Previously could get 4G at these locations.
I am running EVO as donor/target phone, my is only 1x speed, no matter which rom I try
Synergery, Mik, Stock-Rooted, differ kernal, different PRL, check the data profile Automatic, Try restore but can not cat automatically update, still need to go qpst to update my profile. I have been working on this for two weeks. I went back to my orig phone, it show ev most of time, the speed is must faster than my evo. Searc all over from goole, still no luck, Anyone any idea to try

i know this post is somewhat old. but Making a back up wont take hardly and extra time! always always make one unless you have 100% reliable roms already backed up.
I am having problems getting my 4g to work correctly. I am rooted, running synergy RLS1 + godmode. I have checked my RSA keys, which are still in good condition, my mac address is still in tact, and I have the latest radio/pri/wimax/prl etc radios. I have tried updating profile after everything and still cannot get 4g to function where I know it works. Any other suggestions?
Have you tried making a nandroid backup of your current setup then flashing a stock rom (or restoring your stock backup, if you have one) and testing 4g again?
It could be a rom related issue - I've heard great things about Synergy, but haven't been on Sense for months, so I'm not familiar with the rom. If you're positive that your wimax is intact & you still can't connect, call Sprint & see if it's something on their end.

I will try that next. I have a nand backup made already but I am not always in an area where 4g is accessible. I should be this weekend so I will give that a shot.
Thanks!
well i'm on synergy as well and my 4g works i have an evo 4g on metropcs and i use clear internet (had to get my phone macid added as an additional device on my clear account) on my phone for 4g works just fine
OK guys i'm a complete noob here at XDA (registered yesterday) but i'm getting really desperate and confused and since i've seen XDA is such a great community i thought i'd give it a shot...
My GSII had been running BeastMOD ROM II v3.0 for about a month now and it worked like a dream but about 3 days ago i turned off my phone and then turned it back on a minute later and I HAD NO NETWORK!! Now, that i recall i didn't do anything to cause this. I called t-mobile and went through all their troubleshooting, no luck. I flashed BeastMOD ROM II v4.2, no luck. Re-flashed BMOD 3.0, no luck. I noticed i don't get ping to my network, I have no IMEI number(i get null/null), and no baseband version(unknown). I'm really worried and hopefully you guys can help me some suggestions ASAP as i haven't had network in three days.
restore a back up of your stock if you still have it.
and this will only get me back to stock and not undo root or will it? will try
Here's what happens. I try to do my first stock ROM restore and it says
"Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!" <--Whats wrong? I'm currently doing a restore on a backup three hours after that one which i'm not sure which one it is (maybe the first backup after i installed BMOD 3.0) but hopefully it will do something.

Hey thanx for that last link but the freakin person that made that method just bailed on me after his method screwed with my phone. I have stock now but i have a problem where my phone keeps rebooting until it gets network and even after it finds network and gets its IMEI and Baseband version back, that "fix" doesn't let me use data and for some actions the phone says the SIM card is not ready or available. and when i turn off the phone and back on it keeps rebooting until it finds network like i said. I don't know what the EFS is but that could be something that is making the phone malfunction. Please! Someone help!
i had almost the same problem.
My IMEI is still there, but it just won't connect to any network! All of a sudden, I woke up and it wont connect!
I'm getting a replacement sent to me from tmobile. weird.
Ok so I have a Telus model and this started a few days ago when I flashed an AOKP rom...
So, I don't get LTE in my area and have always had 4G (or whatever they say it is).. Ive flashed many TW roms and ALL the roms have displayed 4g...and for not having lte, ive been very impressed with the speeds.
However, since this AOKP rom I installed (which was awesome, just wanted to go back to TW), it displayed H+...
Now, I know what h/h+ is and all that jazz about the carriers.. My issue is, can't flash any TW rom now without getting 3g/h/h+ toggling back and forth nonstop and the speeds are horrible!!! Can barely download in the store and loading a page takes a while.....and yes, I realize that its supposed to help with battery and whatnot but I don't like it and just want 4G back!!! lol
So far, I can only get 4g back when I unroot and do a hard factory reset...
And even then, it still shows h/H+ until I go through all the system updates.... then, I go to install another TW rom and I'm back with the h/h+ again...
I have tried the att fix, installing latest modem and still no luck.
I even asked to do a factory reset on my fathers phone (we are on the same family plan) and his shows 4g even when installing any TW rom...
Does anyone out there know what I did wrong?? also, my imei number is fine..
Thanks in advance to any advice or help

So it constantly switches between 3g, H, and H+ ? Have you downloaded a network signal app to see what kind of signal you are getting and strong it really is ?
When you say you have done a complete unroot and factory reset, what method are you using ? Is this where to flash an unrooted stock firmware from lets say Sam Mobile and then done a factory reset ? Or are you just doing another type of unroot ? When you root what method are you using ?
You stated you are on a Telus model but flashed an at&t modem ? Are you on AT&T service ?

Getting 5753kbps download and 905kbps upload .
Whereas before my kbps were always around 11-12000kbps for the download speeds.
I always flash back to stock rom using odin and then factory reset.
Oh sorry if I stated that wrong. I tried an att fix as well as flashing the most recent modem for my telus device but both fixes did nothing.
Again tho, ive done this so many times with TW roms and cant figure it out..
Im currently trying to go back to stock and use the most recent CWM to flash and see if that helps

It doesn't seem to make sense that even after going back to stock unrooted 4.0.4 (or what ever it cmae with from the factory) you still have signal problems as the odin packages would flash the correct modem once you install.
Sounds like network issues.
Speeds of ~9000kb are actually pretty standard for actual usage with H+/H/3G. Don't worry about speed too much. And for future reference 4G is H+, its just another name for it. The common misconception is that 4G is LTE which it is not.

No kidding!! Ive done this a thousand times and have never seen it before..so starting to grt frustrated when told that its normal lol..
So when I get to 4.0.4 its still h/h+, but when I update the first time from samsung, it then shows 4g and my speeds are back to normal. But then as soon as I flash afyer rooting, it gies right back to h/h+ fast dormacy with no way of going back unless i do a hard factory reset again.

Are you sure it is the exact same version that you are running? He didn't update at all, no matter how small the update? If you flash from odin, everything that you did in the past should be overwritten. Go to settings->about phone and tell me what both of your baseband/build versions are

Also, when I flash back to stock and get the 4g back is there a way to save the modem and/or other files needed to bring over to another rom?
Ok so here is the image I took of my phone info..
I would have to put my fathers back to stock to see if there are the same... but Im now on 4.0.4 with h/h+ still present. Im gonna do a hard factory reset to get the 4G back and then see about trying other things.

general rule of thumb, touchwiz roms cannot be built from source. The only way to mess with these roms is with winzipping and adding apps (i call it bloatware) to be honest, if you want customization go to AOSP. Every single time I use a touchwiz rom no matter how smooth its says it is, I get crashes, bugs, irreversible issues like you have, loss of connectivity, the list goes on. Thats all because of the limitations of not having source code, I would recommend you drop the touchjizz and find an AOSP rom you like, if not, stock rom is the way to go.

I agree.. I'm under the impression its the other way around.
Hey just curious.. I was reading about going back to stock and making a copy of the qcn??
Can anyone confirm that copying this and then injecting it after a flash would work?

That your opinion is somehow fact. That somehow using a TW rom will just give you bugs and ruin your phone, as if a custom rom doesn't have glaring bugs as well. It's quite awesome the amount of customization that the dev's on the touchwiz rom's are able to inject into their rom's. Anyonr who thinks it's just unzipping files and adding apk's is uninformed. Is it on the level of PA or AOKP of course not but with more customization you add the possibility and almost the certainty that you have bugs and instability. We are quite spoiled on the i747 that we have kt and Task developing rock solid custom rom's. Most out there don't have that pleasure. If a TW rom on here is unstable it's because the dev has fallen short some where. I'd say I fall in this category and I am certainly no dev, just a noob cook. Equating TW rom's from 2.2 to the ones we have now is just fallacy. I do agree not having the source code put's dev's on the
In general I have had to deal with more bugs and instability with custom rom's than I have with a stock based rom (stock meaning what came on the phone). Yet that is not a gripe but merely the fact that I don't like to deal with the little things that pop up on custom rom's, and I prefer the aesthetics of TW. Crazy I know as many find it ugly.
